If there was a mass production of hydrogen fuel cell engines would the water emitions effect the environment?
The only emitions produced by hydrogen fuel cell engines is h2o. What would a sudden increase of moisture in the atmosphere do to the environment? Would drought be a thing of the past?
admin answers:
Very possibly there would be more rain. Storms may last longer as more moisture condenses and falls. But generally I think the environment will handle it quite well. The flip side is how was all the hydrogen produced for the fuel cell engines?
Was it a clean or dirty polluting process?
Drought would still occur because some places don’t get rainfall that much. Increasing rain doesn’t mean you have control of where the rain falls. That is two different things. But as usual, man may construct canals to bring water to drought areas. That should make everyone happy.

David asks…
which is safer with a hydrogen fuel cell a direct fuel system or air intake?
I plan to add a hydrogen fuel cell in my smart car and i want to know if it would be safer to run a secondary fuel line using a fuel tee and running a hose from the hydrogen fuel cell output straight to the tee input. Or run a small hollow needle right into the air intake from the hydroxy fuel cell.

Niether. Both are dangeous to your wallet. You’ll spend a fortune and waste energy.

Steven asks…
What kind of engineer would work on the hydrogen fuel cell?
I need to know what kind of engineer would help to make the hydrogen fuel cell more economical
admin answers:
Chemical Engineers will probably have the best background for hydrogen fuel technology. While my thermodynamics class, for example, covered fuel cells in one chapter only, the required courses have an extensive enough background to be able to learn about fuel cells and understand what is going on with ease.
Some of the courses are General Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Thermodynamics. However with Chemical Engineering there is enough background as well to be able to work with other types of fuel, aside from hydrogen fuel cells.

Carol asks…
What engine can run hydrogen fuel cell ?
Can a normal car engine run with a hydrogen fuel cell ?
If can’t then what kind of engine can run with it ?
admin answers:
Hydrogen burns cool.Hydrogen fuel will rapidly pit the cylinder wall and piston head causing severe wear and eventual over heating.Hydrogen gas is easy to dissociate from water and takes about 5KW that is about 8hp for about 4hr to make 1,000gl but you need to use it.Best used in stationary heating.Enough for about twenty houses a day.Or 50 cars.That is according to the license agreement necessary for a gas station to sell it.Make the gas on demand and run a turbine and for shure a standard oil subsidiary like the big x will make themselves known to you.If you ceramic coat your motor or turbine you can do it.Or you can go steam power.

George asks…
i am building a hydrogen fuel cell to put in my car will it hurt my car?
i have a 1980 pinto and its an older car and i know that a hydrogen fuel cell can duble mpg and boost power by burning the gas faster and burning more of it and i wonted to know if it wuld heat up my car to much or somthing?
im 15 yrs old and a hidrogen fuel cell is VERRY easy to build……..and can it over heat my engine?
admin answers:
It could if you are careless.
There are many factors involved in whether an HHO generator will work well or not. The major factors are:
1. What are the electrodes made of, how well will they conduct electricity and how quickly will they corrode?
2. What electrolyte mixture are you using in the water (electrolyte is required to make the water conduct electricity to split the hydrogen and oxygen)
3. How much oxygen are you involving in the gas out to the engine?
4. How many o2 sensors does your vehicle have and how will they react to the extra oxygen they will detect? (sometimes the o2 sensors will detect more oxygen and increase your fuel ratio to compensate for it – I personally have not had this problem, but have heard others record it)
5. How much volume of HHO gas by LPM are you making available to your engine and compare this to your engine’s size.
Speaking from my personal experience with the generator I built, I have literally TRIPLED my gas mileage.
POTENTIAL HAZARDS include:
1. Chance of exploding HHO gases if mis-used.
2. Blown fuses and burned wiring.
3. Water damage to the exhaust over time.
4. Water in the engine – if you are really really careless.

We also have an FAQ’s page and an HHO Hints and Tips section.
If you need any help along the way, don’t hesitate to ask. We also have installation instructions available for free upon request.

Donna asks…
Global warming: Does it take MORE energy to create hydrogen than PROVIDED in hydrogen fuel cell cars?
The round trip is a net loss isn’t it? We use electricity to convert H2O into H and O.
Then in a hydrogen fuel cell car, we RE-convert the H and O back into H2O again.
So it is a round trip.
But since every mechanical device LOSES energy through friction and heat and waste, the round trip from H2O to H & O and back to H2O LOSES energy.
Isn’t this right? So how will a hydrogen economy run the country or replace oil-burning cars?
admin answers:
More efficient than gas? What a joke. Gas is the source for energy. Since hydrogen doesn’t exist naturally it requires energy to separate from oil, since oil has more hydrogen than water and oil is more plentiful.
It takes more energy to refine hydrogen than you get from combustion. The byproduct is water vapor, another green house gas worse than co2.

Donald asks…
Energy transformation of a hydrogen fuel cell?
Doing a science project and I need to know this.
I’m guessing that it’s Chemical Potential Energy -> Electrical Energy + Thermal Energy
Can somebody verify that this is correct?
If you were wondering a hydrogen fuel cell is a device that combines hydrogen and oxygen chemical to produce electricity and water.
admin answers:
Well, according to the diagram on Wikipedia,
Hydrogen and oxygen start in 2 different sections. The Hydrogen becomes ionized, which then allows it to pass through the barrier between them. The stripped electrons travel through a different path, generating electricity, and then rejoin the hydrogen ions on the other side, where the oxygen is. The hydrogen and oxygen then combine to create water, and exit as an emission.
At first, a bit of energy will have to be used to strip the electrons from the hydrogen (to ionize them). The current created by the flowing electrons will generate electricity, then the electrons will be returned to the hydrogen and oxygen.
Chemical + Electrical —–> (more)Electrical + (less)Chemical + Heat
Thats kind-of describing the whole system though, not just the chemical reaction.

Sharon asks…
do hydrogen fuel cell cars emit carbon dioxide?
im confused, some sites say that hydrogen fuel cell cars are zero emission cars. but others say they emit low amounts of carbon dioxide.
admin answers:
Hydrogen cars don’t directly emit carbon dioxide. Making hydrogen uses lot of electricity. Since most electricity is made by burning complex hydrocarbons hydrogen cars are responsible for a lot of CO2 even though it doesn’t come from the car’s tailpipe.
